Tony: I Have to Play the Lead

That's right.

Pepper Potts enthusiastically said, "I think Mr. Stark is quite a legendary figure, so could we adapt his story into a movie?"

"Forehead."

Li Chen paused for a moment upon hearing this. "Where is the legend? His life has been almost entirely smooth sailing; he's never experienced any setbacks."

"We can adapt it."

Pepper Potts laughed.

This is because Stark Industries is in a hurry.

The stock has been falling ever since Tony Stark announced the closure of the defense division.

Although he later announced that he was Iron Man, which slightly salvaged the stock market.

But emotions come and go quickly.

Without its pillar industry, Stark Industries' situation is far from optimistic, which is why Pepper Potts, currently the acting CEO, is somewhat anxious.

Therefore, she thought of making movies.

All we need to do is make Stark Industries famous; that can boost the stock price.

"I think Howard Stark's story might be more interesting."

Li Chen then said.

"That's fine too."

Pepper Potts said, "It's all Stark anyway."

Howard Stark is actually based on a real person.

There was a movie called "The Aviator" in my past life, which was based on Howard Hughes.

Howard Hughes was a true genius. He inherited the family business at the age of eighteen, making movies, building airplanes, and was capable of almost anything. He even personally test-flew a plane and set a speed record.

Of course, he was also involved in numerous scandals, with rumors suggesting that he had relationships with many Hollywood actresses.

Howard Stark is based on him.

Li Chen then thought that there was no benefit to making this kind of movie; even if Stark Industries invested, they would only make a little money at most.

"How about this, you can ask Tony if he's willing to license the Iron Man IP to us for filming, then we can bring Iron Man back to the big screen."

"If he wanted, he could even play himself and experience being a star."

Li Chen quickly came up with a new idea.

Who says you can't make Marvel movies in Marvel?

As long as there is authorization, it will be fine.

"Mr. Li, you're a genius! That's what I thought too."

Pepper Potts immediately exclaimed excitedly.

Anyway, someone will do it eventually.

Hollywood loves making biographical movies, and Iron Man will definitely be adapted in the future.

It's better to do it yourself.

The only difference is that, compared to those legendary figures, Tony Stark is still alive...

"I'll try to persuade Tony."

Pepper Potts talked to Li Chen for a bit longer, and then ended the conversation.

It has to be said, having Iron Man make Iron Man is quite interesting.

If a deal can be reached, Li Chen will naturally be willing to bid.

Because once he pulls out his 'Iron Man Armor,' don't blame him for being unsportsmanlike.

Hey-hey!

To some extent, Li Chen also has a collecting habit.

Besides collecting beautiful women, he also enjoys collecting high-tech gadgets, much like many people enjoy collecting figurines.

However, some of the figurines he collected were 'high-end'.

New York, Tony Stark is in a great mood.

He solved the problem of the Whiplash and, based on what Howard Stark left behind, successfully found a new energy source.

Therefore, in some respects, Howard Stark is the real genius.

Because decades ago, when technology was underdeveloped, he had already almost found a new energy source.

It's just that the timing wasn't right, which is why it's been delayed until now.

Tony Stark was able to find it by standing on his shoulders.

Just then, Pepper Potts called.

"Hey, Pepper, what's up?"

Tony asked flippantly.

Although he no longer changes cover girls so frequently and seems to have settled down with Pepper, people don't change that quickly.

But he has indeed matured.

Pepper Potts didn't pay attention to his tone; she had seen an even worse side of Tony.

She didn't actually like Tony Stark, but what could she do when Tony was rich?

If she wants to change her fate, she can only rely on Tony.

"I spoke with Mr. Li Chen of Starlight Pictures and we reached an agreement on adapting 'Iron Man'."

Pepper Potts spoke up.

"Etc!"

Before she could finish speaking, Tony's expression changed. "Who said we were going to adapt Iron Man?"

"Tony, we have to think about Stark Industries. The stock market is sluggish right now, and we've just gone through an economic crisis."

Pepper Potts said helplessly, "We have to find a way to revive the stock market."

The economic crisis of the past two years has had such a huge impact that people on Wall Street are taking a 'leap of faith' almost every day.

Countless ordinary families have gone bankrupt because of it.

But this money seems to have vanished into thin air; where did it go?

Tony, however, was quite confident. "I already have a plan. I've found a new energy source, and I'll be able to revive Stark Industries' stock soon."

"No, that's too slow."

Now the CEO, Pepper Potts is quite domineering. "Mr. Li Chen said that if you agree to the adaptation, he can let you play the lead role. Don't you want to be a star?"

She changed Li Chen's words because she knew that this would be more damaging to Tony.

Because Tony Stark is a show-off jerk.

Sure enough, Tony's eyes lit up and his expression changed.

"Can he really be the lead actor?"

He was tempted.

"Of course, we can make that a request."

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Tony Stark coughed and said, "We need to find the most beautiful actress to act alongside him."

"Heh heh."

Pepper Potts immediately sneered.

"Oh no, I meant we need to find the most professional one."

He immediately changed his tune; he had already softened his stance.

It's just a movie adaptation; he's never even played a proper leading role before.

The other male leads have played...

Having worked with so many cover models, he used to enjoy documenting it, just like Teacher Chen.

Sometimes, when he sees the changes in those cover models, he can't help but sigh, how fleeting beauty is.

She looked so young in the video, but her face started to look terrible a few years later.

White women age rapidly after the age of 25, sometimes dramatically, their faces sag very quickly, as if they age drastically overnight.

However, Tony Stark has heard that celebrities actually have very bad skin.

Because they often stay up late and use a lot of cosmetics, even though they spend a lot of money on skincare every year, their skin condition is still very poor.

Many white women don't show any problems from a distance, but upon closer inspection, they appear to have a lot of acne.

"Anyway, there's nothing else to do, so it's okay to pat them a little."

Tony Stark was making excuses for himself.

Even Coulson, that honest guy, left New York. I heard there was something going on in New Mexico, so what's wrong with him taking a vacation?

This male lead has to be perfect!
